type mkdir -p $HOME/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins (needs to be done only once)

type open $HOME/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins to display the folder in finder. Now move the plugins there.

Please note that some plugins need to be placed inside a separate subdirectory specific to the plugin. See the 'Notes' column below to see if this is required for the particular plugin you are installing.

Move downloaded .py file(s) to 'plugins' directory

Enable the plugin. Check the box beside the individual plugin in the plugins menu, which can be found at

Context Menu Items

Note that not all plugins will add options to the "Plugins" section of the right click context menu you get on tracks, files and clusters. Plugins in the above list that do not add a context menu item should work automatically on all new metadata that is loaded into the right-hand pane, once they are enabled in the options.
